Of the serious candidates it is to be noted that several are already being subjected to the puncturing process.

Under such conditions it is not surprising that a .msiderable number of Democratic papers have be- gun advertising for candidates. The Philadelphia Reccrd puts forward this bid: “If the right man will mzke a speech or write a letter reaffirming in clear nd ringing terms, and without circumlocution and evasion, the historic doctrines of the party, the doc- trines under which it has won victories, the Demo- cratic rank and file will recognize him at once as their leader; he will be virtually nominated before the onvention, and he will be a platform himself.” There is the chance of a lifetime. The right man will please get to work at once on the preparation of the letter or speech.

Born March 2, 1810, his name was Vincenzo Giacchino Pecci. On his mother’s side he was a descendant of Cola di Rienzi, the last of the Roman tribunes. He achieved the highest honors in scholarship, and was not only a re- markable linguist, but deeply versed in modern science. He was made a priest on December 23, 1837, and within a few years became the Apostolic Dele- gate at Benevento, where, at an early age, he dis- played his unconquerable firmness and his executive power by the suppression of brigandage. He was afterward qualified to become the Nuncio to Brus- sels, where his service was principally diplomatic and where he deeply 'studied those: political and social problems to which, after his elevation to the Papacy, he attracted such widespread attention. Then he was Bishop of Perugia for thirty-two years, when he was | made a Cardinal, and in 1877, as Cardinal Camer- lingo, he performed the solemn ceremony of lightly tapping the forehead of his prececessor, Pius IX, with a silver hammer and officially announcing his death, | and shortly afterward was elected his successor. This bald outline, filled up in the columns of The Call, brings before our readers one of the most fruit- ful lives of the century, prolonged not only in years | but in vigor, in influence and in impressiveness, and | | which was greatest at its it is not our | province to discuss Leo XIII in his capacity of Su- | preme Pontiff or spiritual head of a great church that numbers among its children more than two hun- | dred millions of human beings, of every race and | living under every form of government. Nor is it/ within our purpose to dwell upon his scholarship, which was deep, broad and thorough, and ranked | him among scientists, philosophers and poets. The | central point of secular interest in his wonderful | career is his statesmanship, which alone would have | placed him almost, if not quite, at the head of the | illustrious men of the nineteenth century. His grasp ‘ of the burning questions of the day and the luminous | intelligence with which he treated them were enough | to immortalize his name. His first declarations, aiter | he had been invested with the Ring of the Fisherman, | proved that in the consideration of those momentous | issues that affect and control terrestrial life he was | bent on the suppression of antagonisms and on the unities. In his first en- | cyclical letter, April 2, 1878, with a total disregard of | | polemics, he discussed the evils affecting modern so- | | ciety and appealed to the underlying love of virtue in | the human race. In his second encyclical letter, De- | cember 28, 1878, he gently but with inexorable logic | exposed the errors of socialism, communism and hilism, and defined the true relations and the recip- | rocal obligations of capital and labor, holding with { even Land the balance of justice between the two. While rebuking the audacity and the crude theories that the rich should pay reasonable | wages for proper service. In June, 1888, he promul- | ted an encyclical letter on “Liberty,” in which he asserted the natural freedom of man, and, power, his submission to the proper restrictions of government. In May, 1801, his ency 1 letter on the condition the working classes appeared, in which he opposed labor con- tracts for the benefit of the few, defended private property as originating in an inherent right and of- fering a rational motive for labor and for economy, reiterated his belief that wages should be propor- | tioned to work, skill and surrounding conditions, and advocated workingmen’s unions, analogous to the guilds of the Middle Ages. The policy of Pope Leo XIII throughout his Pon- | close | | | | | | of anarchical parties, he demanded should help the poor and an evi- dence of his reasoning of tificate was conciliatory and in harmony with modern progress. He restored friendly relations between the | Papacy and Russia, Germany and Switzerland. He | threw his personal influence into the scale when Car- | dinal Lavigerie solicited ifrom the European nations | a common declaration against the revival of the slave trade in Africa. He closed his long-standing controversy with Bismarck by an amiable correspon- | dence with the first German Emperor of recent times. He recognized the French republic, and dis- | claimed any right of interference with forms of gov- | ernment, referring to the United States as “growing greater and greater every day.” ‘“Accept the repub- " he said, “that is to say, the power constituted and existing among you; respect it, and be sub- mitted to it as representing the power that comes | from God.” In his relations with the United States Pope Leo XIII was peculiarly fortunate, and accepted the trend of modern ideas in his appreciation of our in- stitutions. On the occasion of his sacerdotal jubilee President Cleveland, through Cardinal Gibbons, sent | him a copy of the Feder:] constitution, and in his re- ply he declared that liberty was guaranteed by that instrument. When Monsignor Satolli had been ap- pointed his personal representative, in January, 1895, he addressed a letter to the Archbishop and Bishops in the United States, in which he referred to our na- tional growth and to the destiny to which we seemed to be advancing, and expressed his wish that the Catholic church should “not only share in but help bring about this prospective greatness.” He uttered words of warning against the turbulence of strikes, while approving of lawful combinations among the industrial classes, and bade Catholics to “labor for the tranquillity of the commonwealth,” to “obey the law,” to “abhor violence” and to “seek no more than equity and justice permit.” At a still later period he | alluded to the fact that both Protestants and Catho- lics were among the Regents of the New York Uni- versity, and added: “How then can I complain of the institutions of America? The more I study them the more they please me. I have admonished all the people in America to refrain from strikes, never to resort to violence to redress a grievance, but to ap- peal to the law and the constitution.” This great man, in his attitude toward the secular world, toward the mass of human beings everywhere, was a powerful and a practical statesman, and, bet- ter than some of our imperialists and annexationists, comprehended the equality and the significance of American government and of American civilization. He avoided the interblending of church and state, and used his faculties for the benefit of mankind. Throughout all his papers unity of purpose was ap- parent. As Gladstone once said of Daniel O’Connell, he had “a passion for philanthropy,” which did not, however, blind him to facts or obscure his reason. His most intense desire was that his policy should be perpetuated after his death, and he repeatedly evinced his interest in the choice of his successor. As “Crux crucis” was pathetically applied to Pius IX when he sank to his final sleep, so “Lumen in coelo” will be the halo with which the world will invest4he name, the character and the influence of Leo XIII — There will be no welcome for King Edward in Dublin, as the suggestion of courtesies to be ex- tpnded caused a disturbance almost as dignified as a riot.

HE forests of the United States are making Ttheir last stand on this coast. Already, not only destructive lumbering but more destructive fires are wiping them out. Perhaps we are too far away from the locality of the Eastern forests to be admon- ithed by their fate, but it may be interesting to the few who seem to know the relations of forests to fer- tility to know the facts. = ° In an address to the Saciety of American Foresters in March last, President Roosevelt said: “The object of forestry is not to preserve the forests because they are beautiful, though that is good in itself, nor be- cause they are refuges for the wild creatures of the wilderness, though that, too, is good in itself; but the primary object of our forest policy, as of the land policy of the United States, is the making of prosperous homes. It is a part of the traditional effort of the Governrgent in dealing with the forests must be directed to this end, keeping in view the fact that it is not only necessary to start the homes as prosperous, but to keep them so. That is why the forests are to be kept. You can start a prosperous home by destroying the forests, but you cannot keep it prosperous that way.” s { Those words are df deep import to California. The | preservation of the forests here is the preservation of | the fertility of the valley lands, and therefore the preservation If our forests are given over to saw and | fire as were those of the East, their end will come sooner because of the aridity of our climate. The figures on the Eastern forests stagger the imagi- nation. The forest area of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, principally white pine, contained origin- ally a stand of three hundred and fiity billion feet. | Lumbering that region began in 1836, but was not of much consequence until the early seventies, when in- creased population made the demand. In 1873 the cut was four billion feet, and it reached the maximum in 1892, when it was over eight billion five hundred mil- | lion feet. Then it declined, and last year barely | reached five billion feet. In the last thirty years the iumber cut aggregated one hundred and eighty-eight | TUESDAY, JULY of the prosperity of the homes located ' ¥ billion feet, lath and shingles twenty-eight billion feet. two hundred and sixty-six billion feet. It is esti- mated that of the remainder of eighty-four billion feet, sixty Dbillion destroyed by fire, leaving the wretched remnant of twenty-four billion out of that vast forest was The yellow pine is in the Southern States. Lum- bering in it began later than in the white pine of the | North. Of it one hundred and sixty-three billion feet vigorously attacked and will soon disappear. No sec- | ond growth of white pine is coming on, the forest fires having made that impossible, and the same fate may be expected in the case of the yellow pine, and | the two long-leaved members of the family may be regarded as ended in that part of the continent. When the forests of this coast are destroyed to the | same extent as those in the East, the effect on our climate will be seriously felt, and as a place for homes we will be worse off that any other part of the country. The newspapers of Japan are bristling with sug- gestions of unrest over the situation in the East.

Attention has been frequently directed to the action of the Government in enforc- ing the law forbidding the importation of adulterated | or misbranded articles of food, medicine or drink | from foreign countries; and it now appears that a similar vigilance is to be exercised over interstate commerce, as far as the law permits, for the purpose | of preventing adulterations and misbranding in the domestic market. A report from’ Washington says the only offense | of the kind recognized by the Sherman law is that of | shipping misbranded merchandise, but that is pun-i ishable by a fine of from $500 to $1000. It is believed | by the officials that while the law is not sufficiently | comprehensive to cover all the wrongs perpetrated in the way of placing fraudulent foods and medicines on | the market, yet enough can be done under the act, i when taken in connection with that of last winter, to greatly mitigate the evil. The steps taken by the Government will furnish object lessons for the education of Congress. There is, of course, a powerful lobby to oppose any effort at suppressing the pernicious trade, but when Con- gressmen perceive the degree of favor shown by the people to the laws now in operation, they will be likely to complete the needed legislation on the sub- ject and furnish the administration with authority to put a stop altogether to one of the most far-reach- ing evils of modern trade. The manufacturers and sellers of adulterated or misbranded goods of this kind injure consumers and subject the producers of honest goods to unfair com- petition. It is therefore in the interest not only of public health and of honesty, but of legitimate indus- try, to put a stop to the practice. The administration has already accomplished much in that direction, and the work merits the recognition, the approval and the support of the people. Zichard _l. Whelan has been “mentioned” by a small coterie of Democrats, inspired by factional en- thusiasm, as a possibility for the Mayoralty nomi- nation. While it is altogether probable that Whelan will not even be “among those present” when the nomination is made it would be strange if he could, with comic ditties, sing himself into the Mayor's of- fice as he did into the Sheriff's. It seems, however, like asking too much of the musically inclined people of the city. Cheap vaudeville and Mayoralty dignity are not a congenial association. Prussian state railway managers are going to make a thorough test of the comparative merits of elec- tricity and steam in hauling freight and passenger trains. The tests are to be made with respect to speed and capacity to haul heavy loads.

SANTA CRUZ, July 2.—Maria de Los Angeles Majors, one of the last of the old time mission Megicans, dled yesterday and in her death a remarkable woman was taken away. One who for many years had been among the heaviest tax- payers of the county lived to see her vast possessions of land and stock disap- pear. During the last years of her lite she found it necessary to accept support from the county. She came from the Castro family, her father being one of the Spanish dons. Joaquin Castro, her father, came to San- ta Cruz in 17%0 with the Franciscan fath- ers from Mexico. They established the Mission Santa Cruz. Maria de Los An- geles Castro, his daughter, was born in 1818, being 8 years of age at the time of her death. She was born in one of the adobe homes of the village of Branel- forte in what is now known as East San- ta Cruz. She was baptized by the early missionaries in the old mission church and given the name of Maria de Los An- geles. With her two sisters she was given by the Government of Spain by the Refugio grant three leagues of jand ex- tending from Moores Guich up the coast to Laguna Creek. In 1539 she married Joseph L.
